...himself realizes its superiority to any E., however A. His illustration includes one of the key. "Wake Up The Grader" phrases--"It is absurd." What force! What gall! What fun! "Ridiculous," "hopeless," "nonsense," on the one hand; "doubtless," "obvious," "unquestionable," on the other, will have the same effect. A hint of nostalgic, antiacademic languor at this stage as well may match the grader's own mood: "It seems more than obvious to one entangled in the petty quibbles of contemporary Medievalists--at times, indeed, approaching the ludicrous--that smile as we may at its folliesx, or denounce its barbarities...
Though Havel cited a survey indicating that 70% of Slovaks wanted to stay in the federation, he took no chances. Stepping in with a request to rule by decree if necessary, Havel warned that if democracy failed, "we would be cursed by future generations." Negotiators took the hint and produced a compromise: joint stock ownership of utilities and a rotating chairmanship of the central bank. But a perverse question continues to haunt the new democracies eager to join modern Europe's mainstream: What if the right to choose translates into the decision to say "No, thanks" to democracy...

When scientists from European countries began comparing notes, it suddenly became clear that some sort of epidemic was raging through the striped dolphin population of the western Mediterranean Sea. In France, where dead dolphins usually wash ashore at a rate of about 50 a year, 50 were discovered in a two-week period, and the toll in Spain...
Despite this hint of shame, Falkner's experience was unusually easy. Many families reject lesbian daughters as they reach adulthood, and in turn, many lesbians do not reconcile themselves to their nature until after marrying and, frequently, having children. One Dallas-based businesswoman says she came out just a year ago, at age 65, after decades of unhappy marriage and raising four sons. In all, an estimated 1.5 million U.S. lesbians are mothers. Most bore their children while married, though adoption and artificial insemination are becoming increasingly popular among lesbian couples. Maria Cristina Vlassidis, 31, a Chilean-born law school...
